Lucky To Be Alive, Texting Driver Has Unforgettable Message For Distracted Drivers

Chance Bothe was nearly killed six months ago when he crashed as he was texting while driving.

If you are a driver who is still texting or talking on a cell phone while driving, let me introduce you to 21-year-old Chance Bothe.

Six months ago, Chance was driving and texting on a Texas road when he sensed he was in danger and wrote this:

“I need to quit texting, because I could die in a car accident.”

That was the last text message Chance sent before his truck veered off a bridge and landed in a ravine.

It was a miracle that Chance survived. He suffered traumatic brain injuries and broke virtually every bone in his body. He was rehabilitating in a Houston hospital for the last six months and recently went home.

But first, he had a message for drivers everywhere:

“Don’t do it. It’s not worth losing your life. I went to my grandmother’s funeral not long ago, and I kept thinking, it kept jumping into my head, I’m surprised that’s not me up in that casket. I came very close to that, to being gone forever.”
